Gritty McDuffs Lions Pride Brown Ale (Best Brown Ale)

Brewed by Gritty McDuffs
Style: Brown Ale
Portland, Maine USA

on tap at grittys. medium brown color, nice head. not to strong of an aroma. very bitter in the flavor, not alot of malts, very dry and bitter hop flavors. this could have used more roasted malty flavors to balance the bitterness. it seemed as if the bitterness overwealmed the other flavors. average beer, but its 1$ cheeper than the other beers a grittys.

Draft @ Gritty’s. Reddish amber brown body. Small white head. Mild fruity aroma. Flavour is a bit dry, touch of caramel malt, but flavour is fairly muted throughout. Average palate. Needs more everything.

It stays crunchy even in milk.... Nose has plum, light brown sugar, crisp hops, strawberry, maple. Deep copper, off white (dirty) head. Flavor is brown sugar, maple, somewhat dusty malt, a bit of fruit (cherry) in the finish.

12 oz bottle. Light brown with a nice head that collapsed quickly. Taste is thin bodied caraml with some nuttiness and a smooth, butter thing going on that leaves a weird taste in my mouth.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear brown color with no head. Weak aroma and flavor of malt with sweetness. The palate is light and watery and the carbonation is soft.

Bottle - Poured a dark brownish amber in color with a light tan head. Aroma was slightly buttery with malt. Flavor had some roasted malt and some nuttiness. Too watery. Finish had some hopiness and was slightly sour.

(12 oz. bottle) Foamy biege head, collapses w/ no lacing. Amberish brown color. Aroma faintly buttery caramel. Watery mouthfeel, flavor is really nothing. Finish slightly bitter. Not real good.

Bottle: pours brownish red with a medium creamy disappearing beige head. Mild malt aroma with some butter notes. Notes of nuts and chocolate. Very light chlorine finish. Chocolate shows up at the end as well. A decent brew.
